Is Spare Tire Accessible with Draw-Tite Hitch Installed on 2003 Ford F-150
Question:
I have reviewed the Draw Tight frame Class III ! With 2” receiver, model # 75082 to be mounted on a farm pickup : 2003 Ford, F 150 6 Cyl and need to know if the spare tire , which is mounted under the pickup bed , in the rear, where the frame hitch mounts, will still be accessible when I mount the frame hitch? I had a different model hitch used on a Chevy pickup and it was, but there is no information in the details regarding the continued access on the Ford pickup! Thank you

We do have a solution for you but the # 75082 Draw-Tite hitch isn't a fit for your 2003 Ford F-150. It's for the Ranger and Mazda B Series.
For your F-150 you actually need hitch # 75065 which does allow full access to the spare tire. I attached a picture so you can see it. I've also linked the installation details for you.
